Queen Excluders / Koningin Uitsluiters / Separators
Metal excluders are used to keep the queen bee from being able to lay inside the super chamber where the honey is stored.
The metal excluder is sold separately to the beehive and is very useful when it comes time to harvest honey.
The queen will lay eggs only in the brood [broei] chamber if she cannot access the super [heuning] chamber above when a queen excluder is used to prevent the queen bee from getting through.
The benefit of the excluder is that when it comes to harvesting honey from the super chamber there are no eggs or larvae in the honeycomb and ONLY ripe honey is ready for harvesting and filtering.
We sometimes stock plastic excluders as well. Enquire for more info.

My bees are not my income but rather a serious hobby. I cannot and do not want to go without a queen exluder, it makes my honey frames pure. Best quailty- good price!

Great. I beelieve there is no right or wrong about queen excluders – just intention. If one beekeeper wants to keep honey clean from eggs then it makes sense to use a qex. If another beekeeper finds the bees are not moving up into the super – remove the queen excluder for a short period and decide whether to put it back after they move up or not.
